Brian Burns

I know I have been away for a while I want to apologize for my absence first and foremost.

This deserves its own thread - Brian Burns is on his way to becoming an absolute star in this league.  

He has been extremely disruptive over the last few weeks and even though the numbers aren’t telling the story (sacks) - the tape shows it and he is impacting every game. Constant pressure and reckless abandon relentless effort.

Time to put a nail in the coffin on those Everett Brown comparisons (no disrespect  coach).

that’s all for now

Many of us have said good things about Burns all along. He is getting stronger and developing good technique.. His run defense improvement is the biggest deal for me. That makes him a 3 down DE which is what we need.  That way we can use the same scheme and do more from it with players who are versatile and athletic.

And he is doing this in his second year at that, imagine getting this for at least 3 more years till will have to break the bank. Same for brown and YGM if they continue to develop. This d line is set for a long time and this was what i was hoping after the draft we would get. Great unit to build around.

he they both play really well, we wont be able to keep both. one will have to be let go. thats when you draft another one high.

This is why I was so pissed seeing him drop into zone so much the 1st two games. Glad Snow is seeing what he has and is willing to change things up if it's not working. Seen a lot less of Burns in zone the last two games. There is a time and a place to do those things just not as much..

    • I'm not sure how much I'm changing mid year, especially when we are seeing some success.    Most Pass Rushers are physically gifted. Scheme and personnel help, but you gotta have the Jimmys and Joes, especially at that position.    We will likely lose games when the other team can throw for 400 yards, and has multiple high level receivers, but I think at this point in the development of our franchise, we have to be ok with that. You can't address every single issue at once. Really looks like we have plugged some holes on offense, and definitely in run defense. In the next draft, if we hit on a CB, an ILB and a Pass rusher, we will be pretty dangerous.
    • No, stay the course, add via FA / Draft.
    • His route running was not very good in this game, especially when compared to the previous week. There were at least three playactions ran where I couldn't tell if he was going to be pass blocking or running a route with how little effort he ran with. They also dinged him for the fumble on the play where XL lateraled to him. 29.8 fumble grade, 6.1 pass block grade, and 40.0 receiving grade really hurt his overall score. Personally, I'd have put him in the mid-to-high 70s on the day. I don't think his receiving grade should've been 40.0 but can see an argument for in the 50s. Maybe his pass blocking grade could've also been in the teens since he did win on the final rep handily.   Just re-watched the receiving TD for Rico and it was a hideous route. DaRon Bland left his zone to cover over top of TMac though which left the area wide open for Rico to get to. Very surprised that they gave Bland a 66.5 coverage grade as I recall him getting picked on a couple of times (and giving up the 4th down throw to Renfrow by giving an incredibly soft cushion).
